AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoNicaragua Politics: President Daniel Ortega has sent a draft constitutional reform to Congress to extend the presidential term to seven “renewable” years and to bar opposition figures labeled “traitors” or “coup plotters” from elections, with a vote expected in September—moves that follow his vow to stop holding elections and have drawn concern from the U.S. and rights groups. Human Rights Watch: Amnesty International says the reform would further dismantle Nicaraguans’ right to participate in public affairs by letting the state decide who can run for office. International Pressure: The U.S. Permanent Mission to the OAS has requested a special meeting to address the threat to free and fair elections. Regional Aid: Orphan Grain Train’s New England branch shipped over 14,500 pounds of donated items to a Georgia-linked mission, including supplies sent to Nicaragua among other countries. Immigration Context: A new report says the unauthorized U.S. immigrant population hit a record 15.8 million in 2024, driven by migration surges and temporary legal statuses.
